Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1112: Chapter 78: Setting Up an Ambush, Fair Competition

An Zhisu returned to Shushan, only to find the sect in chaos, but she didn’t know what had happened.

She stopped a passing Shushan Sword Immortal, learning that a Great Demon had escaped from the Demon Locking Tower.

Due to concerns that it might return for revenge, the entire sect was on high alert.

Returning to the Ancestral Master Hall of Great Emei Mountain, seeing An Zhisu finally back from outside, Su Jian let out a sigh of relief:

“It’s good you returned in time. Recently, a Great Demon escaped the tower, so don’t leave the mountain for the next few days to avoid being attacked in revenge.”

“What Great Demon?” An Zhisu asked reflexively.

“Ying Long,” Su Jian replied, frowning. “This demon has reached the Immortal Rank Realm. Although Shushan does not fear it, if it specifically targets solitary disciples, it would certainly be troublesome.”

An Zhisu nodded. Since it’s an Immortal Rank enemy, there are Long Eyebrow Immortal, Guan Family ancestors and other seniors to deal with it.

“By the way, disciple has returned this time because there’s something to tell you…”

About a quarter of an hour later, Su Jian felt suffocated.

Since entering the path of cultivation, he had slain countless strong foes and never faced defeat; even Ying Long couldn’t instill a hint of fear in him.

But his own daughter truly made him feel breathless… Just went to visit a junior brother, how come she returned with a child?

This doesn’t make sense!

After hearing An Zhisu explain once again, Su Jian could barely regain his composure.

It’s fine. Emotionally speaking, the two were naturally fond of each other, and as a father, it wasn’t his place to oppose; rationally speaking, binding a future saint with great merit to Shushan would benefit the sect…

Benefit my ass! The kid has married two other Daoist Companions too! I wish I could personally eliminate that heartless traitor!

Seeing Su Jian’s face turn extremely unpleasant, An Zhisu also guessed what her father was thinking and quickly explained:

“He was forced into it too, after all, mingling in three sects at once, assuming different roles, admired by women is quite normal.”

“But those Qiong Ying and Dong You are not easy individuals!” Su Jian said sternly, raising his voice, “How can my daughter share a Daoist Companion with them, especially those two!”

“Who said I would share with them?” An Zhisu replied, surprised, “Does Master want me to hand Junior Brother over to them?”

Father certainly doesn’t mean that,” Su Jian quickly explained, “just afraid you’ll suffer…”

“If you can’t accept such a situation and fall into despair, self-pity, or even blame others, that’s truly suffering.” An Zhisu calmly said, “Moreover, Master taught me since childhood that cultivation is a struggle against heaven, against people, against oneself.”

“Would Master blame heaven’s injustice just because two rivals suddenly appeared?”

“That’s the logic.” Su Jian partly agreed with his daughter’s strong ideals, yet felt it was unfair to her.

But since An Zhisu had decided and was already pregnant, he naturally wouldn’t force her to break off with Qing Heng, so he asked quietly:

“What do you plan to do next?”

“First wait for Junior Brother to mend the heavens.” An Zhisu pondered, “After mending the heavens, we must find a way to keep him here instead of allowing him to ascend on the spot.”

“Once he’s here, whether he belongs to Kunlun, Penglai, or Shushan, then it’s up to ability.”

“Hmm…” Su Jian thought carefully, seemingly finding no flaw.

Qing Heng attaining saint status through mending the heavens, certainly couldn’t be forcibly kept; ultimately it depends on relationships.

Speaking of relationships, whether in appearance, figure, personality, or the bond accumulated over years, who can compare to my daughter?

Su Jian’s protective nature erupted, instinctively thinking compared to his daughter, Qiong Ying and Dong You were mere mediocrity.

But he must still be wary of Kunlun Penglai’s desperate measures, knowing they can’t win against Jiao Xiao, sending armies to blockade the way, seizing the chance to lure Qing Heng away with Qiong Ying and Dong You…

Thinking of this, Su Jian asked solemnly:

“How many people do you need?”

Being father and daughter, they were in tune in this aspect, An Zhisu replied:

“Not many, just about ten good fighters.”

“You’re really giving me a tough task.” Su Jian said with a smile, “How many Peak Masters does Shushan have in total?”

“Master not giving doesn’t matter.” An Zhisu said calmly, “What fear do I have alone?”

“That can’t be said.” Su Jian slightly furrowed his brow, “Tai Yin Sword Master is originally a Shushan Sect disciple, and returns after completing the heavens-mending plan, we can’t let Kunlun Penglai take him.”

“But with Ying Long’s escape, the sect needs to be fully on guard, it’s hard to spare too many manpower. Let’s wait until the Immortal returns.”

“Okay.” An Zhisu hesitated.

“Anything else?” Su Jian saw she seemed to have more to say.

“About Junior Brother and my child.” An Zhisu was silent for a long time before speaking softly, “Father… won’t give him a name?”

Meanwhile, Penglai people had found a small island a thousand miles away from the Southeast Sky leak.

“Please temporarily stay here, esteemed seniors.” Shi Liuli instructed, “At this time, the way ahead is unclear, it’s better not to alert the target, I can go alone.”

Penglai elders looked at each other and finally someone asked:

“Dong You, since it’s the Immortal’s order, we of course are willing to comply. But at least tell us who we are dealing with, so everyone can be prepared.”

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to explain.” Shi Liuli smiled, “I’m just afraid if I say it prematurely, it will burden everyone psychologically.”

“You’ve already given us a psychological burden by saying that.” Another Penglai elder said with a wry smile, “Since that’s the case, let’s bring out our hidden skills.”
